It was as more like, I knew, as a Catholic, I had no chance of going to Heaven, so I was busy eating, drinking, and being merry.

Sounds just like Martin Luther, another ex-Catholic.

Actually, it sounds exactly like the surprising number of Roman Catholic priests, bishops, cardinals and popes that your article talks about as well as the historical peccadilloes that are well known. Instead, it is the genuine Christian who demonstrates through a holy life the new spirit nature that is the reality born again believers know. I doubt you have ever read any of the writings of Martin Luther other than some out-of-context snippets RC apologists trot out to slander him.

I don't know a whole lot about Luther, but if he was an ex catholic, then I think he was probably just fine. Same as me. I have assurance of salvation Ebb, whether you like it, or agree with it or not. If you have no assurance of salvation, I fail to see where that is my problem. That is your problem bro. You can have assurance if you want. It would appear to me, however, that you are not interested in it. I have no idea why, but, as I said, that is YOUR problem, not mine.
